If the sites home page contains the words sex, babes, and a few other choice words, which I'll leave to your imagination, then chances are it's a porn site. What chances are those, exactly? One in a blizzard? This is exactly why filtering realistically for pornography is virtually impossible -- we can't define the problem sufficiently to derive realistic solutions, and our inherently flawed solutions are weak. This listserve thread, containing as it does the words sex and babes and porn, has now flagged the PHP list archives as a porn site -- for anyone silly enough to use a simple keyword match to identify porn. Such a trap would also catch websites discussing the social historical significance of porn, sites that detail ways to identify porn which might include the FBI's, dictionaries and encyclopedias that explain porn, vendors who try to use sexy keywords to attract visitors to their non-porn sites, websites on human sexuality, websites about safe sex, sites about scientific research in human sexual response, and on and on and on. Such a simplistic filter would overlook websites written by people smart enough to obfuscate the key words, say by imagizing them, misspelling them, or using metaphorical language. More to the point, though, pornography isn't one concrete thing out there in the world. It's nebulous, self-defined, ambiguous, ever-changing, and psychologically and culturally dependent. This is why anti-pornography laws are pissing into the wind (oops, did I just commit porn?) -- they want to legislate human desire by attempting to define one corner of creative expression, then discover that that's like trying to contain any aspect of the human spirit. You can only accomplish it partially and temporarily by brute force or intellectual repression or both. Better to challenge those aspects of our culture that breed men who take and take with no empathy for their victims. I don't think an automated solution (PHP or otherwise) is feasible. The best you can do is to create a club advertisers can ask to join but can remain in only if their ads meet your approval. There's no machine that can judge what's porn -- machines get turned on and disgusted by a whole different set of words and images than we do -- you know, like muddy screwdrivers and oily vises -- you're going to have to do it yourself. Look at each image and judge for yourself. At least you can rest assured that your own judgement is sound.

Re: [PHP] security question
Sorry didn't quite get that finished - hit send by accident ( and had
it go to one person, instead of to the list ).
Few quick tips - not all strictly security related, but may affect security.
Develop with E_ALL. Good code can run under E_ALL without complaining.
On your development build, E_ALL errors should be echoed to the
screen, whilst in a production enviornment, they should be logged (
and checked regularly by ( or emailed to ) the administrator ).
Don't allow include files to execute if called. Everything in an
included file should either be an assignment ( to a static value - not
the return value of a function), or inside a function.
In an included file:
?php
// ok
$variable = Value;
// unsafe - attacker if he can execute your include files directly
// can cause the getValue() function to be run, outside your defined
// enviornment.
$variable = getValue();
function thisfunc(){
// ok - inside function
$variable = getValue();
}
?
of course as well as this, your include files should be (a) outside
your web directory, and (b) protected by a Deny to all in your
Apache config file ( or similar equivlent for other webservers ) and
.htaccess.
These are all of course different layers of security. You work on the
assumption that an attacker can get through any one of them, but hope
that they can't get through them all.
These aren't hard and fast rules - they're just techniques that I use
myself. Just because someone else doesn't use these techniques,
doesn't mean that their techniques are any worse than mine.

This won't be very noticeable on the first page load due to the download times, but other requests that check timestamps against cache will appear more sluggish than necessary.

If you have a suitible mime.magic file, and your PHP has the
functionality built into it, you could try the mime_content_type()
function.
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.mime-content-type.php
Is this to protect against somebody trying to pass an mp3 off as a PDF, or
to stop people mistakenly uploading PDF's. If it's the latter, then mime
functions are probably okay. If the former, then you may want something a
little more through.
Or if not available, read the first few bytes of the file and verify
that it begins with:
%PDF-1.3
(or other versions - perhaps just verify the first 4 chars.
You can do this with a simple
$fp = fopen($filename, 'rb'));
if ('%PDF' == fread($fp, 4))
// PDF
else
// Not PDF
This is very simple.
And very insecure. All it takes is a cat and echo to disguise a file as a
PDF, and a quick 'dd skip' to Undisguise it.
You could also use the file commandline utility if the server is a
*nix machine and parse it's output.
e.g. on my machine:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] www]$ file ~/Desktop/svn-book.pdf
/home/colin/Desktop/svn-book.pdf: PDF document, version 1.3
or easier:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] www]$ file -i ~/Desktop/svn-book.pdf
/home/colin/Desktop/svn-book.pdf: application/pdf

[PHP] HTTP_WebDAV_Server problems
Hello All
I'm trying to get a WebDAV server set up using PEAR::HTTP_WebDAV_Server, but
so far I'm having little success.
All I could get from the 11 Slides was that the Class had to be subclassed,
and the methods overloaded, to provide the functionality.
I gathered from the source-code, that I had to instigate the object, and
call the ServeRequest method - This works OK for GET requests via the
Browser, but when I try it in MSWord or OOo, it opens whatever it marked
read only, as opposed to read/write.
I've written the following so far in an attempt to help me understand the
procedure. Any suggestions?
#!/usr/local/php51/bin/php
?php
include_once(HTTP/WebDAV/Server.php);
function wlog($msg){
$logfile = /tmp/webdav.log;
$fp = fopen($logfile, a);
fwrite($fp, $msg . \n);
fclose($fp);
}
class My_DAV_Server extends HTTP_WebDAV_Server {
function GET($p){
wlog(GET: $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]);
// for some reason the $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] is empty
$path_info = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],
strlen($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']));
$str = You called: $path_info;
header(Content-Type: text/plain);
header(Last-Modified: . date(D, j M Y H:m:s ) . GMT);
header(Content-Length: . strlen($str));
echo $str;
return true;
}
function PUT($p){
wlog(PUT: $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]);
}
function PROPFIND($p){}
/*
function COPY($p){}
function MOVE($p){}
function DELETE($p){}
function PROPPATCH($p){}
function LOCK($p){}
function UNLOCK($p){}
function CHECKLOCK($p){}
*/
}
$s = new My_DAV_Server();
$s-ServeRequest();

Which is more efficient? A case switch or a $$method style method?
An example:

case 'whatever':

OR:
$method=$this-convertToMethod($action);

return $this-$method();
Hope this is reasonably clear... Note the return on the latter code.

You need to know that they have both the knowledge and language to solve a problem. It doesn't really matter if they know the syntax of strpos, if they know other methods of solving their potential problems. Perhaps a CSV to MySQL converter - although not exactly that, because I've mentioned it on the list :p That, in my (not so) humble opinion, is better than just knowledge of the language.

Re: [PHP] PHP 5...
Unless there is some specific reason that you need this code to run on both php4 and php5, then inform your boss/admin that the idea of developing on php5, to deploy on php4 is nuts. If they disagree inform them that they are personally nuts( tell them some guy on the internet said so ). It may be possible to develop php5 code in a php5 env, if you are intimately familiar with the differences between php4 and php5, but if you're that familiar with PHP, then you're worth more than a half-ass software creation enviornment. Basicly it's a catch22 if you're good enough to be able to cope with this enviornment, you shouldn't have to.

Contrary to another post I've read, there is nothing good of register_globals, that is why it is now defaulted to off and kept for compatibility, though highly discouraged. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with $_REQUEST, it is slightly more vulnerable than differentiating POSTs from GETs, but it is not the worst you can do I never said there was anything good about register_globals. In fact, I was implying that it was bad. With register_globals, you can't tell whether the variable $foo is local, global, from POST, from GET, from COOKIE, etc. I compared $_REQUEST to register_globals because it behaves similarly: you still don't know whether $_REQUEST['foo'] comes from POST, GET, or COOKIE. The good thing is that you at least know it comes from an HTTP request, so you know not to trust anything from it. You're in a bad state of affairs when the security of your application comes down to whether the input came from POST, GET, or COOKIE. I wouldn't compare register_globals to $_REQUEST. The problem with register_globals is that it injects variables into your script. $_REQUEST doesn't do that. There are pros and cons for each: $_REQUEST is more flexable - $_GET and $_POST are more self-documenting - if you see $_POST, you know that the info came from a POST form, where as $_GET variables could be a href=x.php?name=valuelike this/a. If your security is so bad in the first place that your use of $_REQUEST instead of $_POSTcauses a vulnerability, then it's time for a serious code audit. Good code won't be vulnerable to register_globals either, but having register_globals on is a security problem because there are security flaws that can only be exploited when register_globals is enabled.
Re: [PHP] GET, POST, REQUEST
So, a secure application always has to validate values from client side originated variables, independently if the values were retrieved from $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE or $_REQUEST . You should always validate ALL external variables. As for server side originated variables, these do not need to be validated if you get them from $_SESSION, $_SERVER and $_ENV . THIS IS NOT TRUE. Some $_SERVER variables can be influenced by the client ( eg $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'], being one example) (same for $_ENV) $_SESSION validation is equally important, but slightly different. You need to make sure ( for example ) that your sessions aren't being hijacked.

Re: [PHP] Security Concerns with Uploaded Images:
getimagesize() - I wouldn't worry about people trying to upload scripts - assuming you limit file-extensions to .gif, .bmp, .jpg, etc. .jpgs generally don't get executed - unless you have a screwed up webserver install. The best they will be able to do is have others download the script / code. What I would worry about is people using your image store to share information other than what the subject of the image looks like - like encoding mp3's using stenography - or something like that. Perhaps either an apache directive to not-execute, or store everything below the webroot, and readfile() them out.

It's just a normal array.. but the author is creating keys on the fly for which the values area being incremented. And because there's no error checking for the key not existing previously, he has used the dirty error suppression operator. BAD BAD BAD CODER! Remember, if an error occurs and you have a custom error handler, your custom error handler still gets invoked. OWWIE! I would submit that the error suppression operator isn't BAD BAD BAD per se - it's just like goto, in that 99% of its use is bad. In the absence of a comment justifying it, the error-suppressed expression is BAD. There are some cases where the Error Suppression operator may be useful in good code. I wouldn't use it to suppress anything more serious than E_NOTICE. I don't think I ever used this operator, but if I did, i'd explain why there is no possible case where the code could emit an E_WARNING or higher.

Re: [PHP] Re: Upload File
There are names for people who use the blob field of a MySQL db to store images. Moron, and Idiot are just two examples, but if other circumstances exist, you can say newbie as well. As a newbie I thought myself that storing images in a DB would be a nice clean solution. Voices of experience said otherwise. Over the years as I grew more experienced I began to understand myself, why putting images into a MySQL Db is a Bad Thing[tm]. Use blobs to store small amounts of transient data. Use the FS to store something as large and semi-static as images. Sorry if this seems rough / harsh, but if it causes a person to think twice before using MySQL as a file storage solution, then it's justified. There are a few less polite names for people who develop software like this that I have to maintain later. Are you going to write queries that involve the data *IN* the file as part of the search, sort, or filtering? PHP has the facilities built-in to perform this search/sort/filter - while their use isn't always the cleanest solution, anything is better than putting files in a db. If you can't find the features you require, then feel free to use external tools - anything to avoid db file storage.

Re: [PHP] LDAP and Single Sign On MORE THOUGHTS
I've got a bit lost on this, but assuming that we are talking about an intranet enviornment, with windows/IE6 clients, and apache servers, then personally: I would check logins based on a valid session. If the user doesn't have a session they aren't logged in. Store the username in the session variable. PHP session variables are AFAIK designed to be hard to detect and fake. Any code that is run under a http:// website ( as opposed to an ssl or https:// one ), reads the session(ie does not write to it). Any authentication should be done using a script accessed over https, protected by mod_auth_kerb. The http:// script would be accessed by the person when they first access the protected site. The protected site would detect that the user is not logged in, and redirect them to the authentication site(which is behind mod_auth_kerb, and https), which would create the session, and redirect the user back, to the page where they originally tried to access.

Also for ease of debugging maintenance, I recommend indicating the type of each variable with a prefix (a=array, s=string, etc.): Different strokes for different folks.

However, for security purposes, I would rather not have the actual files available. I suppose I could have PHP create temporary symbolic links on the file system that link to the files in question and then remove the links, thus requiring the users to go through an authentication process to retrieve files that are assigned to them. Anyway, downloading such large files causes PHP to balk with size limitation errors. I could increase the size limit and memory limit settings in php.ini, but for file sizes that large, is it recommended? Are there best practice limits on these settings: max_input_time, memory_limit, max_execution_time, etc.?

Re: [PHP] Flatfile forum?
I'm not sure what you mean. 10 different programmers would do this 10 different ways. Personally I'd create a forum-data manipulation API, and then create a frontend to access this. I suggest you abstract the data access routines into an API of its own, so that when you come to your senses, you can change it to a proper db. -Original Message- From: Nicholas Couloute [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 12, 2006 5:35 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Flatfile forum?

I don't think a function exists, but i would probably use (for

(This is probably some work for the PC so that's why benchmarking)
It would be interesting to know whether that method was faster or
slower than using this:
$iLen = strlen(implode(, $aArray));
the problem I would have with the above code would be that it assumes
you're using a single dimention array.
Recursive foreach:
function array_size($a){
$size = 0;
while(list($k, $v) = each($a)){
$size += is_array($v) ? array_size($v) : strlen($v);
}
return $size;
}
This could possibly be optimised even more by using references or something
like that.
eg
foreach(array_keys($a) as $k){
size = is_array($a[$k]) = array_size($a[$k]) : strlen($a[$k])
But I think that for the most part your time programming will be more
important than the programs time running.
Re: [PHP] Recompile PHP on pre-installed system
If you're using a Redhat Enterprise version with a support contract then I
personally don't think you should attempt to run a non-redhat php binary.
Instead find out how redhat make their php-mysql or php-ldap or
php-{some_other_php_module} rpm, Make an RPM, and install it like you would
any other RPM.
Better still would be to upgrade to Debian( they have more php modules I
believe than RH), but that would require much more downtime than an apache
restart.
What module do you need?

You can edit those srpms to include whatever configure line switches
you need.
I run RHEL4, and my own compile of PHP, set up outside of rpm. You
only need to worry about rpm getting confused if you use it to
install any packages that are dependent on php, e.g. squirrelmail.
Essentially either do ALL of your PHP setup and install through rpm
or none of it. I'm quite happy handling PHP myself, and conflicts are
rare as php is rarely a dependency for apps installed through rpm.

Re: [PHP] Re: [Off] Cheap SSL certificates?
It appears that you never applied for a certificate before, or applied for certs from CAs that don't verify information. Identification is extremerly important when it comes to knowing whether or not to trust the given public key. Repeating your point doesn't make it more valid. I'm not trying to humilate you, but Richard discredited what you said, by saying that 99% of visitors don't check who the cert is issued by anyway. I am not trying to humiliate you, but you may want to study about cryptography and its use for the internet. I operate my own web/e-mail server (and have been doing so for some time), and so, I know how important it is to make sure a trustworthy CA signs a public key. You know how important it is to *YOU* how important a trustworthy CA is. You don't seem to know how important it is to anyone else. Granted people *should* ( if they're worried about their encrypted information falling into the wrong hands ) check who certs are issued by, but personally I don't care enough about my webmail password to sift through my pre-installed CA list, and determine which CA's I do, or do not trust. I operate my own web/e-mail server No offense, but so what? Do you think that makes you different from most people here, many of whom administrate web, email, database, dns, etc? You're on a technical list, and people who admin servers are the norm rather than the exeception.

You could try replacing every letter in the word curl with it's #xxx;
